Trumailo is an email verification API built to catch bad addresses before they hit a sending list. Each address is run through eight checks: syntax/RFC validation, a cached MX lookup, a real SMTP RCPT TO handshake against the recipient's mail server, a catch-all probe using a canary address, role-account detection (admin@, info@, noreply@), a disposable-domain check against a list of 30,000+ domains refreshed daily, provider mapping (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Yahoo, Zoho, Proton), and Levenshtein-based typo suggestions. Cached results return in under 10ms at p95; deeper SMTP verification takes roughly 0.5-3 seconds. The product is provider-agnostic and is built to sit alongside any ESP that accepts SMTP, including Resend, Postmark, SendGrid, AWS SES, Mailgun, Loops, and Customer.io, either through the API directly or through async batch processing over a NATS queue. According to the company, it started as an internal tool built by a team frustrated with the cost, opacity, and latency of existing commercial email-verification APIs, and is now offered publicly, currently free during a public beta.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Real SMTP handshake verification, not just syntax/MX checks, which catches more genuinely undeliverable addresses
  • Sub-10ms cached response times make it usable inline in a signup or checkout flow, not just for batch list cleaning
  • Provider-agnostic — works alongside SendGrid, Resend, Postmark, SES, Mailgun, and other ESPs rather than locking you into one
  • Free public beta tier with no credit card required, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee once paid plans launch

Cons

  • Specific paid-tier pricing isn't published — you have to sign up or contact sales to see numbers
  • Still in public beta (v0.5 per the company), so pricing, SLAs, and the feature set are subject to change
  • No independent third-party security certifications yet — SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are described as roadmap items, not current certifications
  • Company is small and self-described as a young/internal-tool-turned-product, so long-term track record is limited
